The floor’s surface is the ultimate performance element in many sports and dance activities, but it has a profound effect on safety. About a third of all indoor sports injuries can be traced back to the properties of the floor.

A Junckers solid hardwood flooring system provides the correct resilience, shock absorption and friction characteristics in order for the athlete and dancer to experience the ultimate level of performance and comfort, allowing them to train longer, play harder and so enjoy their sport and performance without worry of injury.

Over 80 years of experience in the hardwood flooring industry has given Junckers the technical expertise to allow us to design and supply the correct undercarriage system and high quality hardwood flooring to suit individual sports, multi purpose and dance floors at whatever level is required and has made us the largest supplier of hardwood sports and dance floor systems in the UK and Ireland. The new EN standards for indoor sports flooring have allowed us to develop newer, better systems to satisfy the most demanding performance requirements.

Contact and speak to Junckers Ltd for advice on the choice of system and life cycle costs over 25 to 35 years of use. Junckers is a member of NBS Plus and the RIBA CPD Core Curriculum and will work with the specifier in writing specifications for the installation of their systems.

SOLID HARDWOOD FLOORING

Flemming Juncker, the founder of Junckers, was a forester. When he started the production of parquet floors in the 1930s, he used the parts of the hardwood trees which were then only used as firewood. This resulted in a more profitable utilization of the wood resources and thus gave the forest owners a better financial basis for replanting and maintaining their forests.

Through the better utilization of the wood resources Flemming Juncker contributed to making forestry viable, and this is still Junckers’ philosophy. In the regions where we source our wood for sports and dance floors, new trees are planted to such an extent that the total forest area grows each year. This and the fact that the existing forests are thriving is living proof that they are well managed.

Junckers’ manufacturing process uses 100% of the wood. By-products such as bark, chippings and sawdust are used to fuel the on-site power plant providing electrical power and steam for use in the production of our flooring in Koege. Actually the contribution to production of energy is larger than what is possible to use at the factory and therefore the plant also provides electricity for the Danish national grid.

Junckers is chain of custody certified according to both the timber certification schemes PEFC and FSC. We will continue to work actively together with our local partners and international organizations to preserve the forests in a manner so as to leave forests for future generations to use.

This makes junckers a co2 positive company

Sports, drama, dance and performance spaces and multi use halls. It is government legislation that sets the standards for these types of floors. It is a lot more than just specifying ”a sprung floor”. BSEN 14904: 2006 was introduced in July 2006 to set standards for all indoor sport flooring. This supersedes BS7044 Part 4 which is now obsolete. All floors designed for sporting or dance use should conform to this new standard.

All Junckers sports systems fully conform to this new standard and are BB compliant.Solid hardwood floors are designated within the standard as Area Elastic Floors which provide spring resiliency and shock absorbing qualities that are required for sports and dance use to minimise injury from activities such as jumping or moving. If the floor is too hard then the athlete or user will be exposed to early fatigue and aching joints through to more serious leg and back injuries. Other performance characteristics such as vertical deformation ensure that the floor is not too tiring to run on yet still absorbs these forces.

Ball sports such as Basketball demand a high and fast ball response which is also a major performance characteristic covered by the standard. Slip resistance or level of friction is vital to ensure easy turning or sliding yet maintaining integrity without slipping. The floor must also take into account other non-sporting use such as the heavy loads created by retractable seating. BSEN 14904 is part of document EN 14904 which is a high level European wide standard aimed at raising the performance criteria of sports floors and to separate the various types of flooring systems available in the market.

The standard has 4 separate sections and is specific about the performance factors for each material. The new standard shows how each type of flooring will perform against each other. Point Elastic Vinyl floors, Mixed Elastic, Area Elastic wooden floors and Combi-Elastic Wood/Vinyl floors are all included. The tables below which are taken from the standard indicate the shock absorption and Vertical deformation levels between the various flooring materials:

A choice of systemsJunckers floors fall within the Area Elastic group either in A3 or the higher A4 classes. Point elastic vinyl floors for instance and for obvious reasons, cannot offer the same shock absorbing and resiliency characteristics as hardwood area elastic ones. Area elasticity also allows for optimum freedom of movement while point elasticity impedes rapid movement and to some extent can lock the feet to the floor. An example of the differences between the various flooring products are clearly shown on the graphs opposite. The best sports floor surfaces will always be positioned to give the best shock absorption and vertical deformation characteristics yet still exhibit great ball response.

Given full accreditation by the SRA, England Squash and the WSF, the floor provides the player with the optimum playing surface in terms of shock absorption, resiliency, true and even ball response, light uniform colour and friction. Extremely fast games such as squash and racquet ball needs a surface with a high degree of friction. Junckers SylvaSquash comprises a solid Junckers 22 mm thick Beech board of the classic grade with a 45 grit finish, which provides the high level of friction required by the sport. An unsealed finish is the first recommendation by the SRA, England Squash and the WSF.

However, SylvaSquash is also available with one coat of polyurethane seal factory applied as required. The Junckers BluBat and New Era UnoBat systems are the preferred undercarriage systems for a squash floor. Because Junckers SylvaSquash boards are manufactured in uniform lengths, every board end is fully supported by a batten. This eliminates the possibility of board end breakages, a common problem with other "random strip" floors.

To meet the high demands made upon squash court floors Junckers has developed the highly successful Beech SylvaSquash system.

Facts:• Accredited by England Squash, SRA and WSF• Uniform light coloured surface – easier to follow the ball in play• Good shock absorption• Ideal surface for friction• Tried and tested• Available in unsealed or sealed finishes• Line marking using Junckers line marking paint

Underfloor Heating & AccessoriesThe most common question that we get asked is: "Is Junckers suitable for use over Underfloor heating?" The answer is a resounding YES! Junckers’ solid hardwood floors are firm and stable due to controlled low and consistantly uniform moisture content of our prefinished floorboards and our fine machining tolerances. We guarantee it!

Moisture barrierTo ensure a safe and fast installation Junckers offers an extra wide PE membrane. The PE-membrane has a width of 4 metres and on the membrane is shown a marking line, which clearly indicates where the overlap has to be. It is manufactured in a recyclable material in consideration of the environment.

All of our products are tested with the leading manufacturers of underfloor heating systems, are approved by the Under Floor heating Manufacturers Association and have been in use for many years and in hundreds of projects. Junckers flooring is adaptable and can be installed in almost any setting, and adjusted to most underfloor heating systems.

Junckers’ floors are suited to both hot water and electrical systems. This makes Junckers solid hardwood flooring the ideal surface for underfloor heating. We advise that if you are considering the use of our flooring over underfloor heating that you contact us for further guidance.

More detailed information on the use of Junckers flooring over underfloor heating can be obtained from Junckers Ltd Technical Department on 01376 534720 (Ireland 00353 (1) 462 2580) or visit www.junckers.co.uk

Junckers Combi Sport SkirtingJunckers Combi Sport Skirting has been designed in such a way that it can be used for floating sports floor systems and where ventilation of the perimeter is required. The skirting can be installed either way up, to provide maximum height or maximum cover.

BushingsJunckers bushings are designed to allow access to post holes in the sub-floor whilst looking good and are easy to use.

Line marking paintJunckers manufactures the seals used on the floorboards and also the coloured line marking paints for use in marking out courts, logos and special events.

The water-based line marking paint is available in white, red, green, blue, yellow and black. Junckers High Performance sports seal is used to overcoat the newly instal-led lines to maximise the life of the lines.

structure of the flooring to accommodate these loads. Please contact Junckers Technical Department on 01376 534720 (Ireland 00353 (1) 462 2580) or visit www.junckers.co.uk for further details on a project by project basis.

Maintenance & Life Cycle costsMaintenance of a hardwood floor does not need to be hard. Day to day cleaning is quite simple, follow a few guidelines and the floor will be easily kept clean and in good condition. First of all decide if the floor needs an extra coat of seal on installation. In some instances this is a good idea, multi-purpose halls for example where spillages are going to be frequent. The JunckerCare scheme is designed to work in conjunction with the day to day cleaning carried out by the client and the Lifetime warranty; in that it puts the long-term maintenance in the hands of the professionals. To do this all the client needs to do is to enter into a maintenance contract with one of Junckers Approved Contractors to carry out this work.

Total cost of ownership - Lifecycle costsEssentially sports and dance floors are available in different types of surface material. In each case performance, lifetime expectancy, initial purchase price (which includes installation) and maintenance costs all differ significantly. But when weighing up the various options, consider the big picture. In other words, how will your sports or dance floor perform over its entire lifetime and how much will the floor cost in total?

Investing a little time and effort in this respect will ensure that you are not misled. For instance analy-sis shows that the annual costs of having a hardwood floor are significantly lower than those of both PVC and poured urethane sports floors – even though the initial cost of the hardwood floor may be higher. This is because the initial purchase price is a smaller proportion of the total cost of ow-nership over the years.

“Our floors are finished with our highest quality 100% pure polyurethane seal which protects them from wear and tear. This finish is easily refurbished and renewed by simply cleaning the surface and applying a new coat.”

Junckers manufacture a full range of maintenance products.

Junckers. Proven for over 80 yearsAll our systems are guaranteed for 10 years and on certain projects Junckers will fully warrant, not only the manufacture, supply and performance, but also the installation of the flooring for the lifetime of the floor, which for this purpose will be for 25 years. This will apply only if installed by a Junckers Approved Flooring Contractor and maintained in accordance with our guidelines by a Junckers Approved Contractor.

The Junckers Approved Contractor scheme means that you are getting a team of highly trained flooring and maintenance contractors, selected for their technical experience and expertise, quality of workman-ship and their ability to offer the best possible service on a national basis in the installation and maintenance of your floor. Once you've fitted your beautiful Junckers floor it needs caring for. The JunckerCare scheme will look after your floor with the correct maintenance procedures and a programme of servicing, paid for by the client and carried out by the Junckers Approved Contractor that will keep the floor looking good and performing correctly year after year.

Can you afford not to have a Junckers floor?This is vital from a safety aspect, as users of the floor will always be prone to having accidents. So a well, professionally maintained floor will keep the floor within the recognised British and International standards and minimise risks both from an injury point of view and a legal one as well. Also a perfectly maintained performing floor will lessen the continuous shock to the legs and muscles.

We're proud of our floors and with a little care you'll see generations of children, students, athletes both young and old using them with confidence and in complete safety.
